INNOVATIVE HUMAN SKIN MODELS USING HI-TECH SCIENCE

Real human skin for reliable experiments

Genoskin provides the cosmetic, chemical and pharmaceutical industry with a new generation of human skin models and assays for dermatological testing. Our hi-tech ex vivo human skin models represent the last-line screens, in laboratory conditions, prior to clinical evaluation. Our models only include natural human skin that is kept alive for 7 days in multi-well testing kits to enable much broader efficacy and toxicity studies.

Ethical & reliable skin models

Genoskin’s human skin models provide a reliable alternative to animal experiments. Our models use donated human skin that is obtained with the donors’ informed consent in accordance with all applicable regulations.

ETHICAL HUMAN SKIN MODELS FROM REAL HUMAN SKIN TISSUE

To provide the best skin models possible, Genoskin uses real human skin that is collected from volunteering donors. All our donors expressly consent to donating excess tissue after surgery to help science move forward while preserving animal welfare. Our human skin models therefore hold all the characteristics and appendages of real human skin and allow you to test your products on an innovative skin model that provides adequate skin barrier function, tissue integrity, morphology and physiology. Every skin sample is tested for safety before it is integrated in our testing kits.

Human skin models as an alternative to animal testing

Genoskin’s human skin models provide an excellent alternative to animal testing, as they contain no animal components. We strongly believe it’s possible to help science move forward by thinking out of the box to preserve animal welfare.
